The Stranger

Bonanza

Set in Nevada in the 1860s, Bonanza chronicled the adventures of the Cartwright family who owned a large ranch called The Ponderosa. Ben Cartwright and his three sons, Adam, Hoss, and Joe all lived and worked on The Ponderosa, near Virginia City, NV. This television program itself is in the Public Domain, but the theme music is not - so the collectors have replaced the music running over the credits at the beginning and end of the show.
